I'm not saying it's a bad song, though I like the early version that was released on New Moon better.

And Either/Or is more or less my favorite as well.
The earlier stages in his career? Good Will Hunting came out the same year that Either/Or did. The "Miss Misery [Early Version]" is a lighter and overall less good version of the original song. It became popular for a reason.
